 'The experience of the expedition, its challenges and triumphs, made me realise and believe that I’m more than capable of doing a job I think is truly worthwhile.' Beth Grainger.  'The expedition gave me the opportunity to see some amazing places in the company of some great new friends. One day you could be walking on a glacier, the next trekking for hours in the most stunning landscapes.' Naomi Gadsby.  'Travelling alone is a great experience. I landed in Cape Town and completely fell in love with the place. From there I travelled the Garden Route which was amazing - surfing, pot-holing, and riding ostriches!' Nina Collins.  'The most rewarding part of the experience was seeing local leaders come to a workshop on HIV/AIDS and hearing afterwards that many myths had been quashed. It was such a success.' Ellie Messham.  'I benefited hugely from my participation on the JET programme. It was great to see my impact on my pupils, and to see their development throughout my time at the school.' Tom Luff.  'The staff at the hospital were very friendly and the whole experience was fantastic. I really felt part of the physiotherapy team in Nepal and the experience also helped me secure my first physio job back home in the UK.' Kerrie Roberts.  'It was challenging to start a ‘new life’ in a new place, living with completely new people and not knowing the language very well at first. But it was so rewarding to see the week on week improvement in my Spanish.' Vicky Grey.  'A Year in Industry teaches you to support yourself, and gives you skills useful in the world of work after graduation, as well as additional qualifications.' Miriam.  After graduation, Ross worked for two years before deciding he was ready for a change. He opted for a ten-week expedition with Global Vision International.  'Doing something productive like being a field studies instructor not only made me some money for my MSc but I also had a great time and made lots of new good friends.' Mark.  'My six months with GX was a time full of surprises. Without a doubt, I wouldn’t be the person I am today without the experiences I had, the friendships I made, and the things I learned.' Dan.
